Mailchimp integration now available

What’s new?

In addition to CleverReach and Optimizely Campaign, Mailchimp is now available as a third newsletter provider

Automatic synchronization

New subscribers and unsubscribes are automatically synced between your store and Mailchimp—no manual export or import required.

GDPR-Compliant Deletion

When a customer unsubscribes, their data is completely and irrevocably deleted from Mailchimp—not merely archived, but removed in compliance with the GDPR.

Merge fields for personalization

First name, last name, and other customer data are automatically transferred to Mailchimp—for personalized newsletters with a personalized greeting.
